We have a top of the range hot tub with motor massages for Oak and Rowan Yurt to use, while Birch Yurt boasts its own wood-fired hot tub. After a long day exploring the Welsh countryside, sit and absorb the stunning views. You could choose to unwind in the hot tub by day, or stargaze with a nice glass of wine by night. Our hot tub has 24 jets including a Moto-Massage jet, because there is nothing like having two warm streams of water sweep up and down the length of your back, this model also features a built in sound system allowing you to listen to your favourite music through your iPod/music device.

All of our guests have use of the Finnish sauna during their stay. The sauna will comfortably sit four, so is nice and spacious for just the two of you - allowing you to stretch out and read the paper. There is nothing quite like spending 15 minutes in the sauna and then stepping outside to feel the fresh country air hit you.

Ssssshhhhhh…you are about to uncover a secret: hidden away from the world in the Welsh countryside, our luxury yurts are a perfect opportunity to get back to nature. Smell the fresh air, take in the wild flowers - you can even make friends with our chickens.

Each of our bespoke yurts has a beautiful hand made king-size bed with sumptuous bedding, candles, and a romantic and cosy log-burner to keep things toastie; a home-from-home, complete with the opulence one expects from a romantic break.

Outside your own little yurt-away, you will find your own alfresco dining set-up: tables, chairs and private barbeque. With everything you need in our well-equipped kitchen to cook up a storm, all you need worry about is who gets to be in charge of the coals!

With the Welsh countryside on your yurt-step, you will want to get the wellies on and explore, from horse riding and cycling, to Red Kite-spotting and castle-visiting, we can organize a range of activities, or just leave you to it - it’s your holiday, after all.

After all that fresh-air, why not round off an afternoon’s hiking and river-watching in the sauna and hot-tub? A perfect chance to kick off the wellies - crack open the fizz and relax under all the twinkling stars.

This is not just glamping, this is a private luxury yurt experience, in nature’s secret garden.

But don’t tell everyone, it’s our yurty little secret...
